But the C2 is far from being finished and it needs Edd's experienced hands to get it on the road to recovery.

Mike and Ant welcome a 1968 International Harvester Travelall that's an ancestor of the modern SUV.

Mike has his hands full trying to color-match a car with no paint code.

Mike and Ant welcome to the workshop a 1974 Fiat X1/9, a zippy little mid-engine sports car with superb balance and a distinctive paint color. It's a perfect entry-level classic car.

Purchased in Lichfield. Bought from a dealer whose owner decided to sell the car after it developed unknown noises from the engine. Equipped with Tiptronic S automatic transmission.

Mike buys a supercar from the super saver menu. An Italian thoroughbred for under £10k. But supercars mean super bills. Mike’s reports of wayward handling and a hair-trigger throttle could lead to either bankruptcy or a very nasty accident. Some of Edd’s smart solutions could help to keep the budget under control but will it be enough to tame this technology packed, turbocharged V8? Techy tyres help get the luxury GT powerhouse back on track and an overhauled air-conditioning system restores some Italian flair.

Purchased in County Durham. Registered as a 1963 model, despite the Series I ending production in 1958. Elvis stripped the car to bare chassis and discovered that it was a Series I, specifically ones from between 1953 to 1956 due to its 86 inch wheelbase, however the car came equipped with a Series II rear axle. Brought back to near authentic Series I guise, except for its improved steering box from a later model. Elvis heads to Shropshire to source the original rear axle, while Mike headed to Jaguar Land Rover Classic Works in Coventry to source the Series I bulkhead, wheels, and perform further inspections on the car. Mike obtained the Land Rover's heritage certificate and discovered that it was first registered in 1954 in Porton Down and used for 10 years before being decommissioned and re-registered for civil use and was originally gray.

The Boxster is the car that saved Porsche from going out of business when recession hit in the 90s.

Although that ‘half price’ was still more than most could afford, until Mike tracks down an example with a bargain basement price tag.

Mike has a budget of £5,000 to buy a Lotus Esprit, and finds one without an MOT - which could be a big risk. Edd starts by ripping out the interior and the engine.

Mike finds a fifty-six year old Citroën 2CV, retired in the sunny south of France. It’s a real people’s car with bags of charm. With cheeky bug-eyed headlights and rare suicide doors, the 2CV is one of the most recognisable cars ever designed and renowned, over its forty-two year production cycle, for its stark simplicity. Almost every aspect of this quirky car requires attention; Edd strips it back to bare bones to breathe new life back into the smoky old engine. A fresh paint job and interior will help to secure the car’s future for another fifty years but can Mike get top dollar for a car with no frills?

Mike loves vintage Escorts – and he loves rallying. So he decides to combine his two loves and build a Ford rally car, buying a Mk2 Escort project car which has already had lots of money spent on it. Edd thinks it’s got potential, but says it needs thousands more spending on it before it’ll be safe enough for a rally stage. Mike is excited, but Edd is worried about the risk of zero profit. Neither of them are legally able to drive a rally circuit either – immediate action is needed!

Mike's found an icon of British motoring, a 1976 Land Rover Series III that looks like it just came from a safari. Even better, this diesel workhorse is one of the few registered in California.

A classic two-seater sports coupé gets some elbow grease and a bit of spit and polish, Wheeler Dealers-style.

Mike and Ant drag a rare 1972 Datsun 510 2-door into the 21st century. The engine is in good order and the car itself could be quite valuable, but the paint job is awful, the gearbox is unresponsive and the bodywork leaves a lot to be desired.

It’s time for the boys to tackle one of the meanest muscle cars around. But finding the right one won’t be easy as the Camaro is already a cult classic.

With all this time and effort, is there still a profit on the cards?

Mike sets out to prove you can make money on a car without spending a fortune. Can Edd fix up the cheapest SLK in the country on an exceptionally tight budget?

Prices are rising thanks to the company's 50th anniversary and dwindling supply of these 70s supercars. Mike finds a car that's been kept in a collection for years - without turning a wheel. It doesn't start, it can't drive. But it's in great condition in every other way.

Everyone has heard of the high-selling MGB but the car that came before it – the MGA – is the one Mike wants to track down for the U.S. workshop. Why?

But this isn’t the way Edd sees things and the result will surprise some hardcore MG fans. To make matters worse, he refuses to stick to Mike’s low budget. Sparks will fly!

Non-running unit that Mike bought online, with various engine bits stowed at the boot.

The cheapest Astons in the UK are around £16,000 but Mike decides he wants to spend less. By calling around some dealers, he finds a tired trade-in at a large main dealer.

By taking a faded masterpiece, turning back the clock and finishing everything to a very high standards Mike hopes to get absolute top dollar when he sells it on.

Mike attempts to double his money as he takes a down-at-heel Frogeye Sprite from the lower leagues and tries to turn it into a premiership quality classic car.

It was a massive success and sold more than 1,000,000 units – amazing for a British car. Now the 60s cars are fetching high prices but many are rusty and in poor repair, so finding a good one can be tough.
